Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan subconsciously looked at the appearance and clothing of the people around him:

The hair colors of this group of people are mainly brown and blond, their facial features are three-dimensional, their skin is fair, and most of their pupils are green or blue - this is obviously a characteristic of the typical Mediterranean European race. But among the crowd, there are also some people whose skin color is yellowish or even close to brown. These people's facial features are softer, and their hair color is basically black or close to black...the appearance of these people is more special, and their bloodline It seems that they are not pure... According to Ke Lan's knowledge, this kind of people are often the product of national integration.

Generally speaking, in ancient times, such mixed-race descendants tended to have lower social status, but here, they are not much different from those Europeans, and even the clothes and jewelry worn by some mixed-race ethnic groups are significantly higher than The vast majority of Europeans.

First of all, it can be determined that the location in the hallucination is in a large city in Europe. This big city has a relatively advanced social concept and does not discriminate against certain people because of their blood and ethnicity... There has been this kind of multi-ethnic mixing in history. Big city?

Ke Lan shifted his attention from their appearance to their clothes. Most of these people were wearing cotton or linen burqas. There were white robes inside the burqas. The collars, cuffs and hems of the burqas had complicated patterns. Gorgeous patterns, the main body of the burqa is relatively simple, usually with a large diamond-shaped grid or dots of small embroidery. Many people also have equally gorgeously decorated swords on their waists.

A few people still wear silk clothes... Many people think that this precious fabric can only be produced in the mysterious country in the East in ancient times, but in fact, as early as the fifth century AD, Westerners have mastered silkworm rearing and reeling. Silk technology, silk has gradually become popular in the Western world.

"Renaissance...Roman...attire?" Ke Lan quickly found a matching style in his memory.

Have I "traveled" to Renaissance Rome?

Speaking of which, Rome is indeed a place where multi-ethnic cultures and bloodlines blend, which is completely in line with Ke Lan's first impression of the people on the street.

These people seemed to be rushing towards one place, and the crowds were crowded together. Even Ke Lan couldn't help but walk forward - he found that his power had dissipated, and now he was just an ordinary person. The young man wore a plaid burqa that was not much different from those around him, and had a sheathed dagger as long as his forearm stuck at his waist.

"Excuse me, where are you going?" Ke Lan patted the shoulder of an old man with gray hair next to him. The latter turned his head and asked with some confusion: "What did you say?"

Ke Lan spoke in Chinese, and the other party's answer was also in Chinese, not Latin, which the Romans should speak. It's not that the other party couldn't understand what Ke Lan said, but it was because the surrounding environment was too noisy that he didn't hear it clearly.

Ke Lan came closer and repeated the question in a louder voice: "Excuse me, where are these people going?"

"You don't know?!" The puzzlement on the old man's face became even more serious, and there was even a hint of surprise, "Flower Plaza!"

Campo de' Fiori? Rome's Campo de' Fiori?

As soon as he heard this place name, a person's name that was inseparable from this place immediately appeared in Ke Lan's mind.

Immediately afterwards, the old man said the name that came to Ke Lan's mind: "Don't you know that according to the Holy See's announcement, today is the day to burn that heretic Bruno to death!"

Bruno... Giordano Bruno!

Bruno, who firmly believed in and vigorously promoted Copernicus's "heliocentric theory", was eventually sentenced as a heretic by the Inquisition and burned alive at the stake!

Ke Lan suddenly understood why Nieto would immerse himself in such a fantasy.

"Bruno is going to be burned to death today... is it because he promotes the 'heliocentric theory' that is contrary to the church's philosophy?" Ke Lan murmured to himself.

For some reason, the old man who originally had to strain his throat to hear him actually heard what he was talking to himself. The surprise on his face turned into horror, and he kept saying: "You can't say this casually! We all You know, only the earth created by God is the center of the universe, and what that heresy preaches is simply fallacies!"

"The 'heliocentric theory' is indeed wrong... but at least..." Ke Lan originally wanted to say that at least this theory is an improvement compared to the "geocentric theory", but then he thought about it and argued with the people in these illusions. What's the point... In the end, I chose to remain silent.

This is just a replay of a historical scene. Ke Lan knows that no matter what he does in this illusion, it has no meaning... He is not a member of this world, just an "audience" in it. .

People quickly poured into a square, where a four-meter high platform was erected. A man in shabby clothes and covered with injuries was tied weakly to a pillar made of rough logs. The hemp rope rubbed his wrist until it was bloody and bloody, even revealing the white bone stubble.

"Burn him to death! Burn him to death!" A group of people closest to the burning platform shouted loudly. The sound soon swept through the entire Flower Square. Many people, including the old man next to Ke Lan, were shouting With——

"Burn him! Burn him!"

A cardinal wearing a robe and a tall hat walked forward, looked at Bruno, and said: "As long as you are willing to admit that the 'heliocentric theory' is wrong and you have been tempted by heretics, we will put you down immediately. , you will not have to die, and you will be able to bask in the light of the Lord again."

Bruno did not raise his head. He was too weak. After nearly half a minute, he gasped and said intermittently: "The sun is the center of the universe... The sun is..."

"Heretic! Burn him to death!" When the people who were closer to the burning platform heard Bruno's words, they suddenly burst into great anger and fear. They waved their arms, as if they wished they could rush to the burning platform and snatch the executioner aside. The torch in his hand lit the dry wood piled at Bruno's feet.

"The sun is the center of the universe... This is... the truth!" Bruno seemed to have exhausted all his strength and shouted to the people in the audience.

What responded to him were the angry shouts of the people... Ke Lan noticed that not everyone was shouting "burn him to death". A few, like him, remained silent, standing in the crowd, silently Staring at Bruno.

Although the "heliocentric theory" is considered a heresy, many people still accept it...

But at this time, no one was willing to stand up and stand on Bruno's side.
